Are you overwhelmed at the prospect of building a new Public Safety Facility? Are you looking for help and guidance to move your project forward? Do you want a second opinion on the direction you have already received? Do you need help through the unknowns that may come up during design and construction? Attend the critically acclaimed “1-on-One” Sessions with a team of nationally recognized fire station, law enforcement and public safety design Architects from around the country. These firms have been involved in designing and constructing over 400 stations and law enforcement facilities in 45+ states and Canada. These experts will personally review and discuss your project at any stage from inception, land acquisition, feasibility, design, or construction. You will receive focused expert advice based on where you are in the process, with input and professional recommendations on how best to proceed.

Session Details:

• 1-on-One participants meet as a group at 10:00 am for a short presentation where the Architects will discuss ‘Start to Finish — How to Get the Station You Need' which focuses on emerging trends Public Safety design and construction. Following the presentation, we will have an open Q&A with the panel of Architects where attendees can ask questions. This presentation and Q&A can identify issues that you may not have considered on your project and enhance your 1-on-One session.

• 1-on-One sessions typically run for 45 minutes and will begin at 10:00 am and run until 3:00 pm. You will be scheduled for your time slot upon arrival. For added learning value, each Architect will host a short seminar or case study for participants who are waiting for their 1-on-One opportunity. These mini seminars can bring focus to issues that may have unintended consequences, provide clarity to the design process or mitigate obstacles as you move forward.

• Each registered attendee of the 1-on-One will be sent a survey via survey monkey before the conference. This will help us get an understanding of your department, your project, and where you are in your process before we meet. The more information you can provide the better.

• Please plan to arrive at the conference on Sunday in order to take advantage of this Pre-Conference opportunity. It is important to have visuals to aid in the conversation about your project. We understand that you may be at the beginning phases so not all items below will apply to you and if you are further along in your project, some of the items below may be too general. Please bring whatever you feel with help in the conversation you are trying to have.

Items to consider bringing: Tax map, Site Plan Existing Drawings, Proposed Drawings, Site photos, and Reports or Feasibility Studies.
